So a quick post tonight. I am on a bus to Valdivia and it is like my recliner at home. We spend the day out on the river on John's inflatable pontoon boat. The weather on and off all day but it was incredible - and I hooked an 18lb rainbow trout! (along with two nice sized others - pics to prove all!) we also saw quite a few salmon that were swimming up from the ocean to spawn. I did not realize that after a few days in fresh water they turn black and are essentially unedible. They are big - 40lbs and tough to catch, even for fun, because they don't eat when spawning. So I don't feel bad about not nabbing one!
John and Theresa have quite a nice little operation (saw the fishing lodge today) and it would be great to come back for a serious fishing expedition with some others some time.
So I am beat and will try to get some shut eye - bus gets in at midnight-ish.
